I have no idea, but I'd hope it's not possible. Since title music plays before anything is selected, the only way it could work was if you didn't honor the pre-processor containment, and if more than one person tried to pull this stunt, results would be unpredictable.

I'm just wondering, this wouldn't be an attempt to leak the new theme music ahead of time, would it?

My main issue with your plan was that you planned to hijack the title music. My guess that you were trying to push the new theme may have been wrong, but it doesn't matter much. How did you plan to implement this, assuming such a tag would work?

I expected pointless grief from certain parties, but please don't you get started too.

“Pointless grief”? Excuse me, but as a fellow content creator yourself you are well aware of how Wesnoth works. Anyone can look at the assets bundled with the game, they are not packed into a proprietary archive format of some sort or lumped into a password-protected zip file, and they are all provided in formats anyone with the right software can visualize without the game’s help. Anyone can use them, because they are either GNU GPL v2+ like the game engine, or provided under CC BY-SA. The only one who started pointless grief here is the person who accused the OP of trying to “leak” something that’s a freely available part of the game and already distributed in a public VCS and in a public release to boot (1.13.10).

If you don’t want “leaks” in open-source software, simply don’t release the content in question and instead just keep it under wraps until it’s the right time, it’s as simple as that. Once it’s out, it’s out forever.

Let's not devolve into an argument. To clarify the situation, I did commit (with doofus-01) West's new track, which is intended to be the new title screen/game theme. It is in the repository and the data files, but has not been wired in yet. I intended to make it the title screen music for the 1.14.0 release. The track is not a secret by any means - it's commission was discussed publicly on the forums. However, I'd like to ask that it not be used in any addons until the 1.14 release. Obviously we can't stop you if you want to, but we'd greatly appreciate it.
